From British occupied India, Tibet, Nepal and China in the West to Pearl Harbor and the West Coast of the US and Canada. WWII Pacific Theater features the largest map yet in the series at 198x82 tiles in size.
NOTE ABOUT DUAL MONITOR DISPLAYS:
SC WWII Pacific Theater can have problems with Dual Monitor displays which cancause the game to be unplayable. As such, we advise disabling a secondary monitor before launching and playing this game.
VISTA COMPATABILITY
If you have experienced any issues with installation or running Strategic Command WWII Pacific Theater (in general) it is recommended to run the installation utility and/or the game as an Administrator. Either logging in with an Administrator account or using the following steps can achieve this:
1. Right clicking the Shortcut
2. Select Properties
3. On the Shortcut tab select Advanced
4. Then Select the "Run as Administrator" checkbox.
Additionally you may find that you need to temporarily disable Vista's User Access Control (UAC). Please refer to your Vista documentation for further instructions on the disabling and subsequent re-enabling of UAC if necessary.
NEW VIDEO ACCELERATION SETTING
If you play the game and notice unplayably slow map scroll speeds and unit selection time, then please activate the "Video Acceleration" option from inside the Settings panel. That option will use a different method to handle graphics and should put your game performance back to regular levels. If you have never noticed any extreme game slowness, you can leave this option set to OFF.
